Study Notes
Titration
- Titration involves acid-base neutralization reactions to determine the concentration of a solution.
- The reaction requires a known solution (titrant) added to a solution of unknown concentration (analyte).
Key Concepts
- Equivalence Point: The point where both acid and base have been consumed (equivalent or exactly stoichiometric amount), with neither in excess.
- End Point: The actual result obtained by observing a sudden change of physical properties, such as a color change, near the equivalent point.
- Titration Curve: A plot of pH vs. volume.
Titration Process
- Direct Titration: Titrant is added to the analyte until the reaction is complete.
- Back Titration: An alternative technique to direct titration.
Requirements for Titration
- Reaction must be stoichiometric and well-defined between titrant and analyte.
- Reaction should be rapid and have no side reactions or interference from other substances.
- There must be an indication of the end of the reaction, such as a color change or sudden increase in pH.
Equipment Used
- Pipette: Measuring accurate and precise volumes of solutions.
- Burette: Pouring measured volumes of solutions.
- Conical Flask: Mixing two solutions.
- Wash Bottles: Containing distilled water for cleaning equipment.
- Funnel: Transferring liquids without spilling.
- Volumetric Flasks: Making up accurate volumes for solutions of known concentration.
Example Calculation
- Calculate the molarity of the base:
Mb = 0.3157 M
Standardization
- Standardization: A process to determine the concentration of a solution of known concentration by titrating with a primary standard.
